Police said alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash just before noon in Macomb County.

Police are investigating what led to a head-on crash that injured three people just before noon today in Macomb County.

Shelby Township Police Sgt. Greg Neubacher said a red Jeep heading west on 26 Mile Road west of Hayes, driven by a 19-year-old male with an 18-year-old passenger, crossed the center line and collided with a silver Dodge Charger driven by a 44-year-old man.

The occupants of the Jeep were taken to Henry Ford Macomb Hospital with injuries that Neubacher said were not life-threatening. But the driver of the Charger had to be airlifted to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak with serious internal injuries, Neubacher said. The man's condition wasn't immediately known.

"It appears alcohol was not a factor" in the crash, Neubacher said. "Why the Jeep crossed the center line is not known."
